Natasha the Gazzanaga episode reference to the mind/brain divide prompted me to read again an essay by Prof Daniel Dennett entitled "Where am I?" It's in his Brainstorms book of 1978 by Penguin. The essay considers the questions of self raised when someone has their brain maintained on life support while they under take a dangerous venture. Their body is still connected remotely to the brain. It's a facinating read!
